Chopart and Pierre Joseph Desault (1744-1795) were the founders of urological surgery, both emphasizing the importance of treating the urinary tract as a whole. "They were close friends and were both able clinicians, surgeons and teachers. Desault was a brilliant lecturer who wrote little while Chopart, a poor speaker, published an outstanding textbook on urology" (Desnos, transl. Murphy). Biographical - Richard Toellner:
